Lipase near me in Bhopal

A lipase test measures the levels of lipase, an enzyme that helps in the digestion of dietary fats (lipids), in your blood. Lipase is an enzyme primarily secreted by the pancreas hence it is normal to have a small amount of lipase in your blood. But, a high level of lipase can mean you have pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas, and kidney disease.

This test can be used to diagnose pancreatitis, to find out any blockage in the pancreas, and in case of chronic disease that affects the pancreas. The doctor may order the test in case of symptoms like severe upper abdominal pain, back pain, loss of appetite, and nausea. The lipase levels can be managed with medicine and lifestyle changes.
